Sword of the Mousquetaries
of Louis XV and Louis XVI. A dazzling looking 18th century
sword. This pattern was introduced to the Musketeer Cavalry
companies in 1759 and continued in production to 1776 so was being used
at the time of the American Revolution. The 1st Company received
brass hilts and scabbards while the 2nd company received white metal
swords. Obviously this is a reproduction of the 2nd Company's
sword. The hatchet-tipped blade of this sword is made of
1055 high carbon steel and hand finished. This sword
is based on an original in the Musee d'armee in Paris.

Grenadier a Cheval de la
Garde SwordThis powerful yet elegant sword was used by the
Horse Grenadiers of Napoleon`s Imperial Guard.
As the pictures
attest, this reproduction is true to the original, capturing the French
ability to design a heavy cavalry sword that has strength but with the
minimum sacrifice in sword balance and mobility.

French Artillery Officer
Sword This pattern of sword was used by both
Napoleon's Artillery officers and those of the Artillery Train.
As
with all our other swords, this pattern is based on original examples
and is made with high carbon "spring" steel blades possessing a thick
continuous tang.
Since Napoleon relied heavily on the artillery in
weakening the enemy's line before attacking in column, this sword is a
wonderful collectable for telling the story of the French Army in that
period.

Napoleonic AN
XII Dragoon SwordIntroduced in 1805, this sword replaced the less attractive AN IV Dragoon
sword with its flat hilt design.
The four-bar brass hilt adopted at
this time was the same as the Cuirassier.
This replica has a black
grip with a brass ferrule.
The wooden scabbard, wrapped with leather
and mounted with brass hardware with ball at the end of the chape was
typical of the
Dragoons.

The blade is high carbon
spring steel and well fulled like that of the originals.
In addition the back of the
blade is etched with arsenal markings and there are also inspector
markings stamped on both the blade and the hilt as per the originals.

Imperial Guard Light Cavalry Trooper's SabreThis sabre was
first issued in 1803 to Napoleon's "enfants cheris" (cherished
children): the famous Chasseur a Cheval de la Garde. Where Napoleon went
so did his Chasseur a Cheval de la Garde. From Austerlitz to Waterloo,
Napoleon's cherished children fought hard for their emperor.

Because of its popularity as
an elegant and effective weapon, this sabre became adopted by others in
Napoleon's Imperial Guard. These units included:

- Horse Artillery of the
Imperial Guard
- Artillery Train of the Imperial Guard
- the Dutch or Red Lancers of the Guard
- 2nd Regiment of Cheveau-Légere Lancers of the Guard

In addition some Hussar
Regiments carried a very similar sabre but with minor variations in the
scabbard.

With its brass "D" shaped
hilt, 33 1/2 inch blade, and beautifully constructed leather, wood and
brass scabbard, this is truly a beautiful sabre and worthy of its
popularity.

The back of the blade is
engraved with the "Mfture
Nale de Klingenthal Coulaux frères Entreps"
The inspector's stamps on this particular reproduction are the "LW" of
Directeur Levavsseur and the "M" under a circle/star of Controleur 1re
Classe Jean-Jacques Mouton.

The scabbard itself has
reinforced suspension rings for increased strength. Historically the
wood interior also aided in keeping the sabre sharp by avoiding metal to
metal contact while drawing and sheathing it. Finally the blade itself
is made of high carbon steel and has good balance to it.

Specially made for
Militaryheritage.com, this sabre with scabbard can be part of

Sold OUT

French Infantry Soldier's Sword (1754-63).After attending numerous reenactments and listening to French reenactors express their
concerns over the lack of an affordable Epee du Soldat, we decided to do something about
it.

We are now offering a replica which is quite similar to the quality and appearance to
other more expensive replicas of this sword on the market, however at virtually half the
price.
The photos will testify to its similar quality. This sword has a high carbon
steel blade, brass hilt and black leather wrapped wooden scabbard.

Cuirassier Trooper's Sword.Any scholar of Napoleon's army would be impressed at the weight and presence of this
sizable sword with its 37 1/2" blade.
This hilt comes
with a leather and wire wrapped grip.
The grip is brown leather
(both black and brown were used).
The grip
is without a ferrule or lower ring.
Numerous originals do not have a
ferrule but instead have more wraps of wire, especially ones made during
the post-Russia campaign period that this sword represents.

The blade is high carbon
spring steel and well fulled like that of the originals.
In addition the back of the
blade is etched the date and what arsenal is was made for:
"Manufacture
Imperial du Klingenthal Octobre 1813".
Again with attention to detail, there is
(a) the armoury 1st Class inspector's mark for 1812 (laurelled "B" for
Jean-George Bick); (b) the proofer's marking
( "L" for Francois Louis Lobstein); and
(c)
rack numbers.

The last element is particularly interesting because every
sword has a different number therefore your sword will not be like any other.
Comes
complete with two-ringed steel scabbard.
There is even a Bick' s "B"
stamped on the top of the mouth of the scabbard.
Incredible!

Historical Fact:
This sword found its way into the hand of Lt. Colonel Frederick Gustavus
Skinner during the American Civil War.
His desire to put his blade
to good use at the Battle of Manassas in Virginia, makes a fascinating
footnote to the history of this sword.

ANXI Light Cavalry Trooper's
Sabre.Used by Napoleon's famous hussars, chasseurs, and horse artillery,
originals of this
sword are well-sought-after in collector circles.
This is an exceptionally will executed piece and could be easily mistaken as an
original.

The three bar guard flows well into the rest of the hilt.
The
pommel/ back strap piece has a slight tilt forward complete the hilt's elegant
presence.
One unique elements of this sabre is the leather wrapped, ribbed grip with
its brass centre stud.
As with many of our other swords, the arsenal markings (dated
Octobre 1811) are on the back of the slightly fulled 33 1/2 inch blade.

With
attention to detail, all the maker and inspector marks have been painstakingly added to
the blade just below the hilt.
Completing this famous sword is its two-ringed steel
scabbard.
A must for any sword collector.

Heavy Cavalry Sword.Carried by regiments
such as the Grenadier à cheval de la Garde (Imperial Guard) this example is the finest and most complex
sword in our collection.
Its massive engraved brass hilt with mounted grenade and
wire wrapped leather grip is elegantly crafted.
Particularly note the slightly
forward slope of the pommel and grip.

The high carbonized steel 37 1/2 inch
blade is well fulled like that of the originals.
The scabbard is most remarkable.
It is
made of brass with a leather insert and has two brass.

French Cavalry Officer's Sabre (AN XI).We placed this model of sword in our Napoleonic swords because it is
often passed off as an original Hussar officer's AN XI sabre at
auctions.
It is in fact the present pattern (F1) of French Light
Cavalry sabre, which is a copy of an AN XI pattern Napoleonic sabre
given to General De Gaulle in 1942.

While it lacks the historic
stampings and markings, it is quite an elegant sword and has proved
itself to be a decent enough copy to fool many an auction buyer.
The sword itself is elegantly crafted and detailed as the images attest.
The balance and construction of the 32-inch high carbon steel blade is superb.
Lastly is its attractive price.

French Infantry Sabre Briquet.This is the requisite for the French Napoleonic enthusiast.
Carried by
most of
Napoleon's infantry throughout the height of the Empire, it will be a great addition to your
collection.

What makes our replica so good is the attention to detail.
The
23 1/2 inch blade is of high carbon steel.
This pattern of sword is
very popular with Champagne Opening Societies, and we have supplied them
to members in both Europe and North America.

This version now comes
with the stud attachment mounting.
This sword is truly a fine piece at an amazing price.

French Officer's Epee
or Straight Sword.The sword pattern we offer
is but one a many different
variations on the officer's epée.
Indeed it was probably the most personalized
items of every officer's wardrobe.
This sword was commonly worn by Napoleon's
cavalry and infantry during social functions while dress in their social attire (tenue de
societé).

But this sword's use did not end there.
For many an infantry
officer, this was also their side arm of choice in the field.
Indeed it probably a
frequent use in the famous duels between fellow officers.

The hilt of this
pattern has a knight's helmet pommel, silver wire wrapped grip, and smooth brass guard,
sleeve, quillons, and shell guard.
The 32 1/4 inch blade is particularly elegant
with fine, historically correct engraving.
Completely this sword is its handcrafted
leather scabbard with a brass locket with frog stud and chape or end piece. We expect this
to be a very popular sword.Images: 1. Sword

AN IV Dragoon Sword.
Introduced near the beginning of the republic (1794), this
pattern of Dragoon sword was manufactured with both iron and brass hilts (some English
uniform historians have improperly interpreted the hilt as copper because of the use of
the French word "cuivre" - this word is used to mean brass as well and is
supported by original examples).

This pattern continued to be used and manufactured
throughout the First Empire, even with the introduction of the AN IX, AN XI, and AN XII
patterns.

This reproduction is a beautifully executed piece with its unique cut brass
and leather-wrapped wood scabbard complete with the ball-end chape (brass piece at the
point of the scabbard).
The 37 inch blade is well fulled and with Klingenthal
arsenal markings on its back. With a black leather grip wrapped with brass wire, with
sword will make an
excellent addition to your collection.

An IX Light Cavalry (Hussar)
Officer's Sabre.
Introduced in 1802, original examples of this sword show a
number of variations in the blade etching and scabbard hardware.
For example, an
original for the L'artillerie a cheval de la Garde in the Musee de l'Armee shows crossed
cannons on the brass pieces on the steel scabbard.

Another example for an etat-major
has fine bluing and gilding on the blade etching.
One Chasseur a cheval officer had
the brass bars of the hilt etched with scales (blade etching same as the reproduction
offered here).

As you will see from the illustrations this reproduction is of
superior quality.
The beautifully-crafted 33 1/2 inch
blade alone is worth the
acquisition.
The steel scabbard with brass mountings is unique to this item.
The blade arsenal markings are
"Manufacture Imperial du Klingenthal Dec
1812".
The brass back strap and pommel slope nicely forward and the black
leather grip is mounted with twisted brass wire.
The pictures speak for themselves.

1st Empire Sapeur's Sword.Sapeurs in
the Napoleon's Army, marching in front of their with their broad-bladed axes and bearskins
and bearded faces, made a significant impression of an onlooker.
An important part
of this look was the Sapeur's sword.

The one offered here is the model adopted after
Napoleon crowned himself Emperor.
This is evident with the eagle-headed pommel and
grip along with lion's head details in the centre of the Cross-piece and at its ends or
the Quillons.
Even the scabbard belt stud is the face of a lion!

The tempered
blade is 29" long with an 18 inches sawback section along with engraved Arsenal
markings and fulling.
The scabbard is leather with brass throat and chape.
Judge for yourself on how nice the sword is.

Infantry Officer's
Sabre.This sword was carried by
officers serving in the Grenadier, Voltigeur, Carabinier and Chasseur companies of
Napoleon's infantry.
While they varied somewhat in pattern, this particular example
is one of the more elegant.

Below are three images of this sword.
Note the
properly engraved blade with laurels and trophies, the ebony-like grip, and the finely
caste pommel and D-guard.
Even the scabbard shows attention to detail with tooling
marks on the leather, and engraved lines on the brass mountings.
